Two conditional-use hearings are coming up in West Marlborough.
At 7 p.m. Thursday, July 21, Dennis and Bambi Glaccum will be presenting their plans to enlarge their barn along Route 82 and add an apartment upstairs.
And at 7 p.m. Thursday, August 25, billionaire Urban Outfitters founder Richard Hayne (or more likely someone representing him, as he has never appeared at any township meeting) will be seeking approval for his cheese-making facility (see photo) and extensive greenhouse complex in Springdell. Although residents were previously assured that the artisanal cheese would be for the Haynes' personal use only, there's a resident cheese-maker and the cheese is being sold at Terrain (an Urban Outfitters store). The creamery was even the site of a recent farm visit from the Philadelphia group Fair Food.
I took a trip to Terrain in Concordville on Saturday so that I could buy some of the cheese and describe it for you (I hear it's very tasty), but alas, I was told there was none in stock this week.
I'm guessing the supervisors will be very interested in hearing how the greenhouses will be used. Residents were previously told they were built just so that the Haynes could tinker with orchids and tomatoes as a retirement activity.
